The Department of Civil Engineering has
been a part of IIT Bombay since its inception in 1958. Over the years, the
department has grown tremendously, and is now recognized as one of the best and
major engineering departments in the country and ranked highly in the World for
Civil Engineering. With its multifaceted faculty, it provides high quality
teaching and instruction at both UG and PG as well as Ph. D levels. Besides,
the Department is actively involved in basic and applied research and
consultancy and provides high quality technical advisory support through
various R & D projects and consultancy to various organizations. Civil
Engineering Department continues to maintain and cultivate its strong links
with the public sector companies, planning agencies, public service providers,
consultation firms, construction industry, academic and research institutions
both within and outside the country.

The department has attracted significant
amount of sponsored research funding from government and private agencies and
is delivering excellent output in terms of implementable solutions and large
number of research publication in quality journals having high impact factor.
The Department disseminates the knowledge gained from its high quality research
through training programs and interacts with world renowned personalities
through workshops and conferences. The students and faculty have won
prestigious national and international awards and recognition, and continuing
to bring laurels to the department and the Institute.

The department has well-equipped
laboratories with excellent advanced instrumentation and equipment for research
and teaching. State-of-art computational facilities are available in the
departmental computational laboratory which is equipped with new servers,
workstations and personal computers. All the computers in the department are
networked with the institute Local Area Network and are connected to internet
through IIT Bombay’s proxy servers.

The students of the Department can use the
Central Library that has more than 440,000 books and volumes, and subscribes
more than 1800 current journals in Science, Engineering, Humanities and Social
Sciences. Library cataloguing is fully computerized. The Department also has a
library where all B. Tech., M. Tech. and Ph.D. Theses
completed at the Department are available for reference. The Department has 52
faculty members and about 25 other technical and non-technical staff. The
department disseminates knowledge to working professionals regularly by organizing
national and international conferences and workshops. Continuing
Education Programme courses are also conducted by the Department on a regular
basis. The faculty publishes extensively from the research and consultancy work
carried out in the Department. More than 200 research papers are published
every year by the faculty in all areas of Civil Engineering in the national and
international journals and conferences.

The B.Tech. Programme involves four full
years of coursework that should be completed by the student to earn required
credits to graduate. The minimum credit requirement for the student to graduate
from Civil Engineering is 275 credits. The students can also pursue honors stream
which require an additional 24 credits to be earned by the student. Students
can also complete a B.Tech degree with minor if they pursue an additional 30
credits with other departments.

The B.Tech. Programme involves five full
years of coursework that should be completed by the student to earn required
credits to graduate. The minimum credit requirement for the student to graduate
from Civil Engineering is 395 credits.

A basket of four courses are offered to
students desiring to pursue a minor in Civil Engineering at undergraduate
level. These courses are open to B.Tech students from other departments
desiring to pursue a minor in Civil Engineering
